A local medical school is receiving national attention for its program. <\/p>\n
The University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry has placed 12th nationwide among medical schools in the medical journal Academic Medicine. Doctors say this is an honor especially because this ranking system uses hard data rather than other systems which are more opinion-based. <\/p>\n
Dr. David Lambert, of the UR School of Medicine and Dentistry, says, \"With real data, looking at things over decades, it really validates the strength -- short and long term -- of our medical school and our medical center.\" <\/p>\n
Doctors say this system is based on clinical trials, research, publications and grants to medical schools and physicians. <\/p>\n
